FIG. 1 is a cross-section elevation of a modular semiconductive device100 according to an embodiment. A “modular semiconductive device” mayalso be referred to as a disaggregated-die semiconductive device, or anembedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB) disaggregated-diesemiconductive device, or an EMIB modular-die system in package (EMIBSiP). Other designations may be useful.

A glass substrate 110 has an embedded multi-die interconnect bridge(EMIB) 124 in a through-hole 118 (see FIG. 1C) portion of the substrate110. The EMIB 124 is embedded in a patterned dielectric film 136.Several through-glass vias (TGVs) 116 similarly penetrate the glasssubstrate 110 from a die side 109 to a land side 111.

The EMIB 124 is at least partially embedded in the glass substrate 110.This means the Z-height of the EMIB 124 may extend above the Z-height ofthe glass substrate 110.

FIG. 1A is a cross-section elevation of the semiconductor device package100 depicted in FIG. 1 during assembly according to an embodiment. Aninorganic substrate 101 such as a semiconductor-packaging quality glasssubstrate 110 is patterned with contact corridors 112 in preparation forfilling with metallic vias (see FIG. 1C). The glass substrate 110 has adie side 109 and a land side 111, in reference to die and semiconductorpackage substrate locations depicted in FIG. 1 and during futureassembly.

In an embodiment, the inorganic substrate 101 is a ceramic that has beenfired and machined to allow the contact corridors 112 to have usefulfiduciary quality for locating metallic vias. Hereinafter, the substrate110 is referred to as a glass substrate 110, but it may be a usefulinorganic non-glass such as the ceramic-substrate embodiments.

FIG. 1B is a cross-section elevation 102 of the glass substrate 110depicted in FIG. 1A after further processing according to an embodiment.A seed layer 114 is plated onto the glass substrate 110, followed by anelectroplating technique to fill the contact corridors 112 (see FIG. 1A)with a through-glass via (TGV) 116 according to an embodiment. In anembodiment, an electroless plating technique is done to locate the seedlayer 114 such as a copper film 114 onto the respective die and landsides 109 and 111 of the glass substrate 110, as well as into thecontact corridors 112. In an embodiment, sputtering technique is done tolocate the seed layer 114 which is bi-layer of Titanium and Copper. Inan embodiment, electroplating the TGV 116 uses a copper-electroplatingtechnique.

FIG. 1C is a cross-section elevation 103 of the glass substrate 110depicted in FIG. 1B after further processing according to an embodiment.A backgrinding process has removed the seed layer 114 and extraelectrolytic plated copper from the respective die and land sides 109and 111 of the glass substrate 110, as well as the backgrinding processhas formed the TGVs 116.

In an embodiment after forming of the TGVs 116 as illustrated, athrough-hole 118 is formed from the die side 109 to the land side 111,in preparation for seating a silicon-bridge interconnect within thethrough-hole 118. A “silicon--bridge interconnect” may be of asemiconductive material such as undoped silicon, or a III-V material. Inan embodiment, a doped silicon material is used. After encasing thesilicon bridge interconnect in a dielectric material, it is referred toas an EMIB.

FIG. 1D is a cross-section elevation 104 of the glass substrate 110depicted in FIG. 1C after further processing according to an embodiment.The glass substrate 110 has been seated upon a carrier 120 such as atemporary glass carrier 120 with an adhesive 122 that secures the glasssubstrate 110 to a useful flatness for further processing.

FIG. 1E is a cross-section elevation of a semiconductor device package105 after further processing of the glass substrate 110 depicted in FIG.1D according to an embodiment.

The semiconductor device package 105 has been processed byheight-reducing (negative-Z direction) the glass substrate 110 such thatthe die side 109 is lowered, closer to the land side 111. The heightreduction is done when a specific silicon bridge of a given usefulZ-height, is less than the Z-height of the glass substrate 110. In anembodiment, no height reduction of the glass substrate 110 is done as aspecific silicon bridge sufficiently matches the Z-height of the glasssubstrate 110, within useful processing and assembly parameters.

Further assembly includes seating a silicon bridge 124 in thethrough-hole 118. In an embodiment, a bridge adhesive 126 is located onthe backside of the silicon bridge 124, to facilitate locating thebridge die 126. The bridge adhesive 126 may also be referred to as adie-attach film (DAF).

In an embodiment, the silicon bridge die 124 has several layers ofmetallization including Z-direction via portions if necessary, andlongitudinal (X- and Y-direction) trace portions. Several bridge traces,e.g. 128, 130 and 132, among others, are depicted, among other bridgetraces when useful. In an embodiment, the bridge die 124 is bumped tocontact the metallization layers, such as with an electrical bump, oneoccurrence of which is depicted with reference number 134.

In an embodiment, where the Z-height of the glass substrate 110 isunity, the Z-height of the silicon bridge 124 is in a range from 80percent of unity, to 98 percent of unity. The Z-height ratio iscontrolled in part by selecting of bump size 134.

FIG. 1F is a cross-section elevation of the semiconductor device package105 depicted in FIG. 1E after further processing according to anembodiment. The semiconductor device package 106 has been processed byencapsulating the die side 109 with an EMIB-level dielectric film 136upon the die side 109. The EMIB-level dielectric film 136 fills into thethrough-hole 118 (see FIG. 1E) to embed the bridge die 124 such that itis useful as an embedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB) die 124.

In an embodiment, the Z-height of the bridge die 124 is taller than theZ-height of the glass substrate 110, to make the bridge die 124 at leastpartially embedded. In an embodiment, the Z-height of the bridge die 124is equal to the Z-height of the glass substrate 110 within processingparameters, to make the bridge die 124 at least partially embedded. Inan embodiment, the Z-height of the bridge die 124 is less than theZ-height of the glass substrate 110, to make the bridge die 124 at leastpartially embedded. In an embodiment, the Z-height of the bridge die 124is about 96 percent the Z-height of the glass substrate 110.

After seating and encapsulating the EMIB die 124, processing is followedby patterning the EMIB-level dielectric film 136 to open middle contactcorridors, one occurrence of which is indicated with reference number138. The middle contact corridors open to the TGVs 116, which may bereferred to as land-side filled vias 116. Patterning the EMIB-leveldielectric film 136 is also done above the electrical bumps 136 to openbridge-bump contact corridors, one occurrence of which is indicated withreference number 140, which exhibit a smaller scale than the middlecontact corridors 138 for exposing the TGVs 116. In an embodiment, laserdrilling techniques are used for each of the contact corridors 138 and140, depending upon contact-corridor aspect ratios of area and depth. Inan embodiment, laser drilling is used to open the bridge-bump contactcorridors 140, and photolithography is used to open the middle contactcorridors 138.

FIG. 1G is a cross-section elevation of the semiconductor device package106 depicted in FIG. 1F after further processing according to anembodiment. The semiconductor device package 107 has been processed byfilling and patterning into the EMIB-level dielectric film 136,second-level filled vias 142 and second-level EMIB vias 144. Thesecond-level package vias 142 and 144 are distinguished as being next tothe TGVs 116. Thereafter in an embodiment, the second-level vias 142 andthe second-level EMIB vias 144 are added to, by patterning a die-levelinterlayer dielectric (ILD) 146, and filling and patterning into thedie-level ILD 146, die level filled vias 148 and die-level EMIB vias150. In an embodiment, a solder film 152 and 154 is applied to therespective die-level filled vias 148 and die-level EMIB vias 150.

In an embodiment, patterning of the ILD 146, involves using aphoto-imageable dielectric (PID) 146, patterning using light exposure,and removing material to leave contact corridors. As a result, the PID146 may be referred to as a photoresist. In an embodiment, patterning ofthe ILD 146, involves laser drilling contact corridors for the vias 150,and photo imaging contact corridors for the vias 148.

Reference is again made to FIG. 1. After forming the die-level vias 148and 150, as well as the solder films 152 and 154, a first semiconductivedevice 156 is bonded to the vias. In an embodiment, the firstsemiconductive device 156 includes an active surface and metallization158, coupled to substrate bond pads 160 for coupling to TGVs 116, andEMIB bond pads 162 for coupling to the bridge traces, e.g. to the bridgetrace 128 in the EMIB 124.

In an embodiment to make a modular die 100, a plurality offirst-semiconductive-device chiplets are assembled to the first die 156.For example, a first, first-die chiplet 164, a subsequent, first-diechiplet 166 and a third, first-die chiplet 168 are coupled to the firstdie 156. In an exemplary embodiment, the first, first-die chiplet 164 iscoupled to EMIB 124 through the first die 156 by a through-silicon via(TSV) 170 that contacts the active surface and metallization 158 throughthe first die 156, and emerges at a first-die backside surface 172. Inan embodiment, the chiplets are fabricated at a smaller design-rulegeometry than that of the first and subsequent semiconductive devices.For example, the chiplet 164 is fabricated at a 7 nanometer (nm)design-rule geometry, and the first semiconductive device 156 isfabricated at a 10 nm design-rule geometry. The EMIR die 124 has routinglines capable of connecting backsides of the coarser devices 156 and174, while the coarser devices 156 and 174, and the chiplets 164, 166,168 182, 184 and 186 are coupled face-to-face with the active surfacescontact across electrical bumps.

In an embodiment, a subsequent semiconductive device 174 is bonded todie-level vias 148 and 150. In an embodiment, the subsequentsemiconductive device 174 includes an active surface and metallization176, substrate bond pads 178 for coupling to TGVs 116, and EMIB bondpads 180 for coupling to the bridge traces, e.g. to the bridge trace 130in the EMIB 124.

In an embodiment to further extend capabilities of the modular die 100,a plurality of subsequent-semiconductive-device chiplets are assembledto the subsequent die 174. For example, a first, subsequent-die chiplet182, a subsequent, subsequent-die chiplet 184 and a third,subsequent-die chiplet 186 are coupled to the subsequent die 174. In anexemplary embodiment, the first, subsequent-die chiplet 182 is coupledto EMIB 124 through the subsequent die 174 by a TSV via 188 thatcontacts the active surface and metallization 176 through the subsequentdie 174, and emerges at a subsequent-die backside surface 190.

After assembly of the several chiplets, and other useful structures tothe die backside surfaces 172 and 190, an encapsulation mass 192 coversthe several first and subsequent dice as well as at least a portion ofthe first and subsequent-die chiplets 164, 166 and 168, and 182, 184 and186, respectively.

Further, electrical bumps 193 onthe semiconductor package substrate 194 that face the land side 111, arecharacterized as mid-level interconnects (MLIs). Further, electricalbumps 195 on the semiconductor package substrate 194 that face the board196, are characterized as substrate-level interconnects (SLIs).
